Werner, do you (or anyone else reading this thread) know anyone who is a decent kite surfer, who would like to 'pose' for me one day when I'm there at the end of the month? My first attempt at taking kite shots were pretty poor but the last couple of times were much better as I'm getting a better idea as to how people take off etc. If I was able to discuss with someone before they went out what types of stunts they would do, it would help. I'd supply a copy of the best images, full size, for them in return. Able to do big jumps etc definate, able to speak English a bonus... able to consume a couple of Presidentes in the evening an advantage!
Alternatively, do you know this guy? He quite clearly knew he was being photographed and was happy enough because he kept returning to jump in front of me!
If he is local, please say 'thanks' from me and ask if he fancies putting on a 'planned' show!!
PS Pretty girls who can do big jumps and would like some photos taken would be the ideal!
Feel free to pm me or e-mail keith.fitton[at]manx.net (with 'kitesurf' in the subject line so my SPAM filter doesn't grab them).
